Killing me softly with Skylab

We have a large CD collection. We've stopped acquiring CDs at our formerly rapid rate, but we still have over 800. We had to block them off away from Ronan well over a year ago and found ourselves not listening to the wide variety of music we not only possess, but actually enjoy.

So Tom picks a different CD every night or three and plays it during bathtime.

This is why I'm now being treated to the sound of Tom and Ronan singing along to 2 Skinnee J's.

Skylab, it's gonna fall.
Skylab, killing us all!

(The week of Tool was fun. Ronan would turn on the CD player and start dancing all day long.)

Old man food

We've been making a skillet meal we call "old man food".

Brown a pound of ground beef and onions in a skillet. Add a couple cups of beef broth (we use a stock concentrate & water) and whatever herbs/spices are appealing (tonight was thyme and dried mustard and dried roasted garlic). Add a generous pour of frozen baby lima beans (half a bag tonight). Sometimes we use fresh corn. Tonight I used a diced potato (yukon, but larger than usual) and leftover brown rice (about a half cup, maybe). Sometimes we add chipotle tabasco. Sometimes not.

When the limas are cooked, you can toss in some diced summer squash and cook for a few minutes. Or just stir in a cornstarch slurry and let it thicken. Salt, pepper.

Eat. Add cheese or sour cream or not. Mayo would be nice if I could have eggs.

Simple and satisfying.
